Oklahoma Commission on School Security
As a state and a nation, we have grieved alongside the families of Newtown, Connecticut, unable to understand the actions that
occurred last December. Tragedies like Newton often spur moments of reflection and study. First and foremost as a father, and then
as Lt. Governor, I pray Oklahoma never faces a tragedy like Newtown.
In light of recent events, the time has come for us to assess the current school security system in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma
Commission on School Security will provide an avenue for some of Oklahoma’s finest to collaborate towards a common goal.
Shortly after the Newtown tragedy, I joined Senate President Pro Tempore Brian Bingman and House Speaker T.W. Shannon in
announcing the formation of the Oklahoma Commission on School Security. Senate Democratic Leader Sean Burrage and House
Democratic Leader Scott Inman also agreed to work with Republican Leadership to form the non-partisan commission. With my
experience as a United States Secret Service agent, and as author of the Oklahoma School Security Act during my time in the State
Senate, I have been asked to chair the commission as we examine school security.
In forming the commission we have reacted in a timely fashion, being cognizant of the upcoming legislative session. The purpose of
the Oklahoma Commission on School Security will be to study a number of school security factors and to provide suggestions and
possible legislative recommendations for the 2013 legislative session. Some initial issues to be discussed within the commission’s
study will include current school safety measures, local control and local empowerment and mental health.
Members of the Oklahoma Commission on School Security include local school personnel, law enforcement, parents and health care
professionals, and are as follows:
1. Roger Webb – Headmaster, Oklahoma Christian School/former President, University of Central Oklahoma/former Commissioner,
Department of Public Safety
2. Maj. Gen. Lee Baxter (retired) –State Board of Education Member
3. Dr. Ryan Brown – Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Oklahoma
4. Lyn Watson – Oklahoma City School Board, District 1
5. Randy Holley – Superintendent, Shattuck Public Schools
6. Dr. Gary Quinn – Superintendent, Bartlesville Public Schools
7. Kevin Burr – Superintendent, Sapulpa Public Schools
8. Mike McClaren – Superintendent, Claremore Public Schools
9. Dr. Trice Butler – Principal, Wilburton Middle School
10. Dr. Sharon Brady – Assistant Director of Special Education, Lawton Public Schools
11. Tammy Will – Teacher, Morrison Public Schools
12. Dr. Eleanor Goetzinger – Behavior Specialist, Oklahoma City Public Schools
13. Jerry McConnell – Director of Facility Operations, Moore Norman Technology Center
14. David Prater – Oklahoma County District Attorney
